Leadership Dinners

CONNECT Leadership Dinners (or Luncheons) are private, invitation-only gatherings of approximately twenty senior executives to discuss community and business issues with a thought leader. Beginning with a cocktail hour and followed by dinner, an invited guest leads a discussion on a topic of interest. Dinner invitees are typically C-level executives and represent the industry of which will be discussed by the invited guest. This small gathering serves as an opportunity to get to know the featured guest on a more personal level, as well as the other dinner attendees.

"I think the dinner was a HUGE success. The conversation was lively and the guests seemed especially engaged…Bottomline, this was a 10 out of 10 for everyone involved."
